Thomas Taylor, the English Platonist, collects what survives of the ancient pagan attacks on Christianity: Celsus, known through Origen’s reply, fragments of Porphyry and the Emperor Julian, plus passages on the Jews from Diodorus Siculus, Manetho, Josephus and Tacitus, and Libanius’s plea for the temples.

A handy source for the intellectual battle between paganism and the early Church, including ancient hostility to Jews. Download the free EPUB.
